Persons 65+ Free Transit Program

If you are 65 years of age or older, you are eligible for a FREE Transit Card!

This card is a "State-Issued" card and can be used on any participating public transportation system in the State of Pennsylvania.

This card can be used to ride FREE of charge!

Applications can be obtained by calling or stopping by the IndigoBUS Transit Center during normal business hours, clicking on the PDF application below or by using the online registration form also below.

The IndiGO does require proof of age (valid driver's license, birth certificate, etc).

When using the online registration form, you will have to scan or PDF your proof of age. When returning a hard copy application or a PDF you printed from the link below, a copy of proof of age must also be submitted.

The following are the accepted forms of proof of age:

Armed Forces Discharge/Separation Papers

Baptismal Certificate

Birth Certificate

PACE Identification Card

Passport/Naturalization Papers

PA ID Card

PA Drivers License

Statement of Age from US Social Security Administration

For those folks who would like to sign up in person, IndiGO offers a complimentary ride to the Transit Center to receive your FREE Transit Card. Don't forget to bring along your proof of age (Medicare cards are NOW accepted, PLEASE SEE BELOW). Show your proof of age to the bus driver and tell him or her that you are going to the IndiGO business office to get your FREE Transit Card. They'll ride you there free of charge.

In lieu of a free senior transit identification card, IndiGO may accept a Medicare Card and/or a Railroad Retirement Card along with a government issued photo ID showing date of birth (driver license, non-driver ID card, passport, etc.) to establish eligibility for free travel. These documents must be presented to the driver as you board. IndiGO strongly encourages all riders 65 or older to apply for the FREE TRANSIT CARD.

How to Read a Schedule

Step 1 : Know where you want to go and when you want to get
there.Step 2 : Look at the schedule. Make sure you have the correct
one for your destination and starting point. Check the route number on
the schedule, and make sure it matches the one on the bus when it
arrives at your bus stop. Also, realize that you may have to transfer
from one bus to another if there is no direct route to your
destination.Step 3 : Look for the day of the week on which you want to
travel.Step 4 : Look up your destination on the schedule, and look
across or down the column to find the time you wish to arrive there.Step 5 : Find your starting point on the schedule. Work
backwards from your destination to your starting point to figure out
when you need to catch the bus.Step 6 : Have exact change or your bus pass ready when you
board the bus. The fare should be listed on the schedule. If you need
to switch buses, ask the driver for a transfer slip when you get on
your first bus. It is a good idea to arrive at the bus stop at least
five minutes early.Step 7 : When the bus is getting close to your destination,
there is usually a cord that you pull to let the driver know that you
want to get off there. Make sure you pull the cord, or the driver may
not stop at your destination.

Remember, service animals are allowed on buses, and many buses
can lower the steps for easier access. Tell the driver if you need
assistance.
